- 107 mPublic life — Talks, interviews and the press room. Every appearance is listed with its date, role and source.
- 100 mNima Golsharifi — Scientist, inventor, CEO and author of Dreamscape Code.
- 10−1 mBuilt by hand first — MEng in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Southampton. Inventions live at this scale.
- 10−3 mPhD, UCL — Electronic and Electrical Engineering at University College London, and device work in the cleanroom of the London Centre for Nanotechnology.
- 10−8 mSoftware, built hands-on — Privacy networks, apps, an AI film studio and finance infrastructure: 17,341 commits under his own account.
- 10−10 mWhere it starts — MSc in Nanotechnology at UCL. Diamond is carbon arranged atom by atom: the material behind his research and patent filings.
That was the way down.
Thirty-one powers of ten.
Now the way back up, from atoms to arguments, through what he has made at each scale.
10−9 ma carbon nano-onion
He grew onions out of diamond.
Anneal nanodiamond and it rearranges into nested shells of carbon. His UCL PhD made those shells into supercapacitor electrodes, and the synthesis is now a US patent, granted on 13 October 2026, with him as co-inventor.
- 834 m²/gsurface area after chemical activation, the highest in the thesis
- 6.6 nmnano-onions from his new high-pressure, high-temperature route
- 710 °Cstability in air of the best activated onions
10−8 ma transistor gate

commits in twelve months.
Each point of light is one of them, on one spoke for each day of the year to 28 October 2026. The longest spoke is 757 commits in a single day. There are 17,341 under his own account in all, across 90 repositories.
See what he built10−2 ma nuclear voltaic cell
Current from the nucleus.
A radioactive source gives off energy for years. A nuclear voltaic cell turns that energy into electricity, with no fuel to burn and no moving parts. He is an inventor on 14 US patent filings in energy and carbon materials, two of them granted.
- Decay
- n → p + e− + νe
- Nuclear voltaic power sources
- Fission
- 232Th + n → 233U
- A dual-fluid thorium reactor design
- Fusion
- p + 11B → 3 4He
- A study of proton–boron fusion
10−1 ma chess piece
383 wins from 383 games.
116 of them blitz, the rest timed. The board here is open, with nothing at stake but the game.
Play him100 ma race car
He designed a race car.
The chassis group at Southampton was seven engineers. He did the car’s entire 3D design and its suspension.
Every part, drawn by him.
Take it apart in 3D, follow rally, NASCAR and Formula 1 live, then drive the stage yourself.
